You got a lot of suggestions on this one, Joel, but no one suggested
Panasonic. If you are into really working with your notebook, like taking
them to construction work sites, etc, Panasonic makes a toughbook series that
is just about indestructable. I saw one demonstrated one time where the sales
rep slid a closed laptop off a desk onto the concrete apron at poolside. He
did this over and over again during his sales pitch. At the end of the speech
he dipped it into the pool and opened... it proceded to boot and work
perfectly. Try that with your run of the mill laptop... ;')
Yup. A friend of mine who works for the US Army swears that he was at a
Toughbook demo for the military at Fort Bragg, where the Panasonic rep
paused his PowerPoint slide presentation, closed the lid, threw the
laptop out the groundfloor window, where they had a Hummer run over it.
It was then handed back through the same window, where the sales rep
plugged it back into the projector and resumed his presentation where he
left off, hardly breaking stride. The Brigade Commander bought them on
the spot.
Bring money
Sounds like what we need the Dells we have at work are OK but are on the
fragile side... seem to be replacing keyboards and busted screen
surrounds a lot.
